In this devotion, I'm going to post a response and rebuttle to a false teaching that's ever increasing in recent years, that I've dealt with before. Who is Lucifer in the bible, and what is his origin. There are many internet Youtube channels, and internet teachers who are teaching some wild doctrines that are wrong, and the Catholic Church teaches that Lucifer-whom they worship, is Jesus. This is wrong, Isaiah gives us the origin of Lucifer, and what happened to him. Below scriptures and commentary notes are for you to go to and read, and research, and learn what the bible teaches on this subject. These are perilous times, false teaching is rampant, and a great many do not read or study scripture for themselves, and are led away into false doctrines. Jesus warned us many times of the dangers of false teachers, and false prophets. As a bible teacher, I know the responsibility of it. Those who teach the Word of God, will be held accountable for what we've taught. We are not to add or take away from scripture. Using other historical research texts and adding them into the scripture is dangerous, and doing what God tells us not to do-for good reason. I recently heard a bible teacher state that Lucifer had a father, and that he is a nephilim-he is not. I've also heard it taught that there are more than one Satan, that there are seven of them. Jesus never taught this. He only taught there is one Satan, and Jesus battled one Satan in the wilderness, and won. Jesus also taught Satan has other names, he referred to him as the god of this world, the son of perdition, the father of lies, etc. Jesus teaches about demons, and how they work, and that they are fallen angels, who were cast out of heaven at the same time Lucifer was, a third of the angels in heaven fell with him; many millions. The only way to sift through the deception, is to go to the word of God, and study it-or be led astray. Below is scripture from Isaiah, and Ezekiel, and commentary on this. Lucifer was a cherub, an angel created by God in heaven, both references tells of the gems, pipes, and his role in worship and music in heaven, before he fell. Both Isaiah and Ezekiel give a full description of his creation, and his fall. Please, if you desire to understand what scripture teaches on this subject, the information below can help you. Lucifer/Satan's Origin Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Isa 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Some debate if Lucifer is a name or a title; the word means morning star or day star, referring to a brightly shining object in the heavens. Whether it is a title, or a name makes little difference; this once brightly shining king of Babylon is now fallen from heaven. Before his fall, Satan was associated with music in heaven. Eze_28:13 says of Satan before his fall, the workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created. Apparently, the musical career of Satan did not end with his fall, because the sound of his stringed instruments is only brought down when he is imprisoned in hell. (comm. notes from David Guzik) My personal note on this subject: I personally believe Satan is the originator of rock music, and it's demonic. David Bowie said this himself, I have a statement of him saying it. Ezekiel describes him when he was created by God in heaven- Eze 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Eze 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Before his fall, Satan was adorned with great glory and splendor. God Himself gave him such a covering, honoring the pre-fall Satan greatly. The collection of gemstones not only speaks of prestige and honor, but also suggests priesthood, because many of these stones were also found in the high priest’s breastplate (Exo_28:17-20). “The stones listed in this verse are similar to those on the high priest’s breastplate in Exo_28:17–20. The order is different here in Ezekiel, which includes only nine of the twelve stones of Exo_28:17–20. The LXX inserts all twelve stones from Exodus 28 into Eze_28:13.” (Alexander) This tells us that Satan, before his fall, was one of the privileged angelic beings surrounding the throne of God (cherubim were seen before in Ezekiel 1). The cherubim surrounding God’s throne cover it with their wings (pictured in the mercy seat of Exo_25:20; Exo_37:9, the representation of God’s throne). Satan was one of those covering cherubim. In conclusion: Below are additional scriptures that give warning about adding to, or taking away from what scripture teaches, and the responsibility of those who teach the word of God. 2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2Ti 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. Tit 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. Now- these verses in Revelation are to all, and should make us tremble: Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. The Divine Word, and the Doom of its Defacers The perfection of God’s Word. Man may not intermeddle with it, either to add or to take away. Can man improve the works of God?—the mountains, rivers, flowers?—the blue sky, the stars, the sun? Even so is the Word of God too perfect for him to touch.
The honour God puts on it. He has magnified it, even above His works; so that he who disparages the Word of God is more guilty than he who disparages the works of God. It is the fullest expression of His mind, the completest revelation of His character. Our responsibilities in regard to it. It is not given us for mere speculation or gratification; but for something far higher. We are responsible for the way we treat it, study it, profit by it. Its perfection makes our responsibility very great, and appeals to our consciences most powerfully. The sin of tampering with it. Every low thought about the Bible is sin. Every attempt to touch it, either in the way of addition or subtraction, is sin. The danger of meddling with it. The danger is exceeding great; and the punishment awarded to the intermeddlers is the declaration of the danger. God will not be mocked in this thing. (H. Bonar, D. D.) And last, Jesus spoke of seeing Satan falling from heaven: Luk 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Referring to: Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! Comments are closed.

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
